Teacher 'feared she would die' after being stabbed in head by pupil, court hears

A teacher, Vicki Williams, testified in court that she feared for her life after being stabbed in the head by a 16-year-old pupil at Milford Haven Comprehensive School in Pembrokeshire. The incident occurred during a classroom interaction where the student asked for help with his history work. According to Williams, the boy lunged at her with a large kitchen knife, stabbed her in the head, and pushed her into a chair. She described feeling intense fear, believing she might die and would not see her daughter again. The teenager, who cannot be named due to his age, denies charges of attempted murder, wounding with intent, and unlawful wounding, though he previously admitted to possessing a knife. Williams stated that the boy appeared normal during their previous class and that this behavior was unusual for him. The court heard that the student used tactics to distract her while attempting to approach her from behind. The school’s safeguarding lead described Williams’ condition after the attack as severe, noting visible injuries and distress. Police confirmed there was no CCTV inside the classroom, only in the school corridors, where the boy was seen entering and exiting the classroom
